Today’s SOAP Devotional

S - SCRIPTURE:  2 Chronicles 34:27
“Because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before Me and tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you, declares the LORD.”

O - OBSERVATION:

I am deeply inspired by Josiah’s faithfulness to the Word of God in these passages. When the book of the law was found and presented to him, Josiah responded with profound reverence. He repented on behalf of his forefathers, who had not followed God’s commands, and as king, he initiated a new future grounded in God's Word.

A - APPLICATION:

It is never too late to change the direction of your family’s history. No matter how far one has strayed from God or how challenging it may feel to live according to His Word, Josiah's example shows that God blesses those who choose to honor His Word and follow His ways.

You can break generational sin and cycles by making a commitment to have God’s Word be the foundation of your life.

P - PRAYER:

Jesus, give us a deep love for Your Word. Help us recognize that it is the foundation upon which the world was established, and may we understand that it is also the foundation for our lives. We love Your Word, Lord—help us to love it even more! Amen.

What is a SOAP?

For each day of Bible reading, we do a SOAP devotional to go deeper into the word of God. We always provide an example SOAP from one of our authors, but we highly encourage you to do your own SOAP with today’s reading. God wants to speak to you personally, and will highlight a passage of today’s reading that’s just for you.

Here’s how it works:

S – SCRIPTURE
Physically write out the Bible verse
You’ll be amazed at what God will reveal to you when you
slow down to write or meditate on what you are reading!

O – OBSERVATION
What do you see in the verses you’re reading?
Who is the audience? Is there a repetition of words? What words stand out to you? What is the main lesson or theme?

A – APPLICATION
When God’s Word becomes personal
What is God saying to me today? How can I apply what I just read to my life? Are there any changes I need to make?

P – PRAYER
Pray God’s Word back to Him
If He has revealed something to you during this time in His
Word, pray about it. Confess if He has revealed some sin that is in your life. Take time to thank Him for His goodness in your life.
